'...what the end will be' brings queer Black male experiences and vulnerabilities to Charlotte stage
A play that debuted off-Broadway in New York has made its way to Charlotte. "...what the end will be" explores three generations of gay Black men living under one roof. Written by Mansa Ra, the play highlights men dealing with their vulnerabilities and grappling with their sexuality. WFAE’s Elvis Menayese spoke to the play’s director, James Webb, about how his real-life experiences shaped the production.
